About Michael Brooks

My wife and I purchased unit #396 over 15 years ago after falling in love with the property. We were guests for many years until we finally lucked into buying a large unit. We have purchased a second large unit #386 this summer and have completely remodeled/updated it as well. I have been an active board member (president) since our purchase, to help ensure the building/grounds remain in pristine condition. We also live in the area which enables us to keep our unit functional/updated. We have enjoyed watching our two children grow up at our beach get-away and have made many fond memories. We hope together, you can attain many priceless memories here too !!!!

Michael Brooks purchased this condo in 1996

Why Michael Brooks chose Indian Shores

Our family rented multiple units within the building for years and we fell in love with the property; so much so, we purchased a unit and still enjoy every visit. We know you will as well, so come and give it a try!

This was our second visit to Belleview Gulf. But our first time in this condo. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We rented for two weeks and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Dealing with the owner was easy breezy! He's wonderful! The condo is exquisite and stocked with EVERYTHING! Very comfortable beds. We met wonderful people and look forward to returning and renting this condo every summer! The ONLY downfall is having to leave! Thanks so much Mike for making this a first of many wonderful family vacations for us!!

Thanks for the nice review. I am glad to hear your family had a great vacation at our condo. I must say that you were easy to deal with as well. We look forward to having you as our guest in the near future.

This is a STUDIO, not a 1 BR

Owner misrepresented this unit. It is a STUDIO condo with 2 uncomfortable Murphy beds. There is no separate bedroom. The building has no elevator so my elderly mother and disabled brother couldn't make the 18 steep stairs to visit me. But if that doesn't bother you, then be assured this unit was very clean and everything worked. It was fully furnished including beach chairs, sunhats, fishing gear and a pair of scissors in the cutlery drawer I used to cut a bird free who was tangled in the nylon cords above the pool to keep the birds out. Neither balcony was private. But the view from the back balcony was peaceful when other visitors weren't there.

Owner's Response: I am disappointed with our first negative review in three years. If we were made aware of your handicapped visitors, I would have recommended a first floor unit. The unit is on the second floor but will offer more privacy from the common ground areas/pool, ect. We have guest that rebook every year that stay from 6 weeks to 3 months at a time. There are two sizes of units at Belleview Gulf Condo's, studio and one bedroom (which is twice the size of the studio's). Our unit is the larger one bedroom sized condo without a separate bedroom. We have elected to use the murphy bed application to enjoy a large 400 square foot living room area. I have not had a complaint yet regarding uncomfortable bedding. We have returning guest that stay for 6 weeks to 3 months at a time that have never complained of any discomfort. I find the pillow top orthopedic mattresses to be very comfortable, just like home. Most condominiums with large swimming pools on our beach strip have bird lines above them. This prevents seabirds/birds from entering the pool area.
Most guest find The Belleview Gulf Condo's to be a great value beach vacation place. Our valued guest will find our units to be Clean, Updated and Fully Equipped. Please view the photo's of our units as we keep them updated and clearly reflect the interior of the units and the condo's exterior common areas. It may be difficult to fully please ever guest but we will continue to strive to do so. The Belleview Gulf Condo's are where fond memories are made every year.

The condo is located just across the road from the Mexican Bay. The other side of the condo is facing canal that suitable for fishing. Very quite and relaxing place for Vacation of 2+2 people
